Product Information

In 1961 the first Armoured Fighting Vehicles appeared in the ever-expanding range of Airfix kits. The 1960s and 1970s are considered by many as the golden age of kit building and the enthusiastic schoolboys and young men building these kits became known as the Airfix Generation. The hobby went into decline in the 1990s as plastic kits gave way to video games- but the hobby has recently undergone a revival as the original members of the Airfix Generation- now at the end of careers and family commitments- take a nostalgic look back at their childhoods.
